Michael Eisenberg

A View with a Room on Chuckanut Shore

Rob LeRoy

South of Bellingham, down the hill from the beautiful Chuckanut Drive, lies a small, cozy community of about two to three dozen homes perched on the cliffs above Bellingham Bay, overlooking the San Juans and the tiny Dot Island.  The setting is reminiscent of the cliffs of Malibu, California, mixed with the forest greens and cobalt blues of the Pacific Northwest. Resting quietly at the center of this little community is a wonderfully updated 1960’s-era Cape Cod-style home with a commanding... [Read more]

It Feels Like Spring in Fairhaven…

Rob LeRoy

 I love Fairhaven. It is such a cool place… The classic brick architecture, boutique pubs and restaurants, open community space, and of course the beautiful setting overlooking Bellingham Bay and the San Juan Islands.  I’ve lived just about everywhere in the Northwestern U.S., from San Francisco to Boise to Seattle, and I have to say that Fairhaven is in the top 5 neighborhoods in any of those cities. Today, February 6th, 2010, was an absolutely gorgeous 65 degrees.  I seized the opportunity... [Read more]

Home-Staging Consultations FREE with New Listings!

Rob LeRoy

If you are thinking about selling your house this year, you might want to get ready sooner, rather than later. With the impending expiration of the First-Time-Buyer tax credit, many experts in the industry are nervous about the potential market adjustment to follow. Given that first-time buyers accounted for an astounding 47% of all home sales last year, it stands to reason that there is the risk of a slump in sales following the expiration of the tax credit.  At the very least, it looks clear that... [Read more]

Bellingham Prepares For First-Ever St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Rob LeRoy

Following in the rather large footsteps of acknowledged pros like New York City, Chicago and Boston, a small, but committed, band of Bellingham locals has endeavored to bring the cherished and lively tradition of St. Patrick’s Day parades to the city this year, for the first time in it’s 150+ year history.  As a descendant of vaguely-Irish heritage and a major contributor to the Rob LeRoy Annual St. Patrick’s Day Beer Fund, I felt exuberantly compelled to get behind this idea... [Read more]

Lummi Island Ferry’s Test Run to Fairhaven

Michael Eisenberg

Whatcom County officials have scheduled a test docking of the Whatcom Chief in Fairhaven for Tuesday, Jan. 26. The reason for this unusual test is that the Lummi Island ferry dock lease with Lummi Nation expires Feb. 14. Negotiations are in progress, but the county wants to be prepared if no deal is reached. The county needs to make sure they have a backup plan in place for getting people and vehicles on and off the island. Port of Bellingham and County engineers have been studying the feasibility... [Read more]
